Ok, something that really bothered me was this, its either one of the other.I have sim settlements installed AND also the 3in1 version
This hmm, I have known this to cause many issues*SlowTime.esp
@woodfuzzy said above, this is now a core issue not a mod issue, so verifying is the first step, the size of your save file folder if to large can be another issue, although thats normally lagging issues when starting up asnd entering the Main Menu page.I just started a new game with no mods active, and my game CTD at the part when I was asked to go play with baby Shaun..I have no idea what to do now.
My son learnt me this little trick.Another thing that crops up is if you have updates your graphic card drivers, I don't mean as in you need to update them, but did you and without realising the CTD's started. There are a few cards that seem to have issues, Fallout 4 is old, so as a last resort, a rollback or update might help.
I tried that before I even opened this thread ): I thought the problem was with Sim Settlements, then one of my mods, but now I have no idea at all since my game still crashed after I disabled them all. I just reinstalled FO4 on Steam and got a crash within 5 minutes.
If you got a CTD with a clean install (deleted all mods then the entire Fallout4 folder then installed) playing pure vanilla, you could have a plethora of possible causes.I tried that before I even opened this thread ): I thought the problem was with Sim Settlements, then one of my mods, but now I have no idea at all since my game still crashed after I disabled them all. I just reinstalled FO4 on Steam and got a crash within 5 minutes.
I updated my driver a couple days ago in hopes it would fix the CTDs, but it didn't. How would I know which Driver update to rollback to? Also I reinstalled my game on steam, deleted the files you said, and messed around a little bit on NMM installing and uninstalling some mods. I was able to play game for about an hour before it CTD.Another thing that crops up is if you have updates your graphic card drivers, I don't mean as in you need to update them, but did you and without realising the CTD's started.

Try deleting these items, then do a verify, run the game with no mods and see what happens.

I think in this situation, your the only one who may know, but its always hard to remember, sometimes its just a matter of rolling back one, trying and then if not, rolling back a further one. Under normal circumstances, if the last one caused an issue, the new one should solve it.How would I know which Driver update to rollback to?
Well thats a start but still little info, also I would like to ask about what GPU are you running AMD has Radeon Settings and Game Profiles, after an update I ran into a CTD random loop, sometimes the game wouldn't start, sometimes it would load into game and crash, sometimes, I could play for a while.I was able to play game for about an hour before it CTD.
Haha, added this to my guide I am building, it was a quick search via Google, so BAD GOOGLEShameless plug... I have a saved game, completely vanilla on nexus, with all settlements unlocked...

I will pass this over to another staff memeber who is working on a Mod Manager guide, this may be something he can includeLook up Load Order Dividers.... this great way to order your mods in the plugin screen.

Did everything you said and my game crashed about 2 minutes into one of the vanilla saves ): guess it is something to do with my computer then and none of the mods. This is strange though because I've been playing FO4 on this same laptop for 2 and a half years and never had this problem until semi-recently.If it still CTD, then we will be looking at your computer/drivers etc and not mods, if it doesn't, then we need to take a serious look at the mods.
Maybe i should turn this into a guide lol
Also, Kinggath has Outcasts and Remnants in the trouble shooting guide as a problem... (not sure if still true, but was there once before)
Ok, I have started a guide and am looking into this closer. As you did the full vanilla, we now know its not mods.
As you have played this for 2 and a half years, I would assume no major hardware updates, if not, then try below.
(1) Open Windows' Control Panel, click "System and Security" and then click "Device Manager." Open the "Display Adapters" section, double click on the name of your graphics card and then look for whatever information is under "Device status." This area will typically say, "This device is working properly."
(2) I had looked around:
Version: 399.07 WHQL
Release Date: 2018.8.27
Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
Language: English (UK)
File Size: 497.98 MB

Version: 399.07 WHQL

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit
Language: English (US)
File Size: 491.38 MB

I see you have English set but I thought what the hell lol
(3) Next I would aim for a manual uninstall/ install
1) Go into your Control Panel
2) Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon
3) Select the NVIDIA Windows Display Drivers from the list of programs.
4) Click Change/Remove or Add/Remove button.
5) Confirm with Windows that you wish to continue with the uninstall
Note: A prompt appears asking whether you want to delete all of the saved
nView profiles.
If you click Yes, all of the nView software and all of your saved
profiles will be deleted.
If you click No, the nView software is removed, but the profile files
are saved in the Windows\nView directory on your hard disk. If you take advantage of the nView profiles, you may wish to keep your custom nView profiles.
Once the driver files have uninstalled, Windows will request that you restart your computer to complete the uninstallation.
(4) Then install new drivers.
(5) Also I would look into the Nvidai Control Panel at nView profiles, if one has fallout 4, disable it. I am an AMD person myself, but I have heard that they can cause issues just like the AMD profiles do, I experienced issues myself.
the drivers that I currently have installed are ones that update only a couple days ago, so they're the latest ones. Since then I have continued to have the CTD problem. However I followed the steps you said about uninstalling them, and it seems that they automatically rolled back to the previous version (398.11). The CTD continue. Additionally with step #5, I have no such setting in my Nvidia control panel. It seems I needed to download the Nview software, however when I tried installing it I got the message "Nview Desktop Manager cannot be installed on this computer".Ok, I have started a guide and am looking into this closer.

That's because nView is for multiple monitors and systems running the Quadro graphics cards.It seems I needed to download the Nview software, however when I tried installing it I got the message "Nview Desktop Manager cannot be installed on this computer".
